Genus Brada, Stimpson. 

 Brada nonnani. 



'riireo examples of this annelid were found on 8/7J07 in 

 haul 87 at Station IG, lat. (>2° N., long. G° 12' VV., in a small 

 trawl at the depth uf l'2ii tn. Each animal measures a little 

 over an inch, and has twenty-two se;^nieiits. There i.s a test 

 of very fine sand-brains surrounding the body, and, like the 

 surface of the body, is very rugose. The bristles in the 

 anterior region and on the setigerous processes project as 

 little golden clumps beyond the sandy test. 



The body is maggot-like, having the anterior end more 

 bluntly rounded than the posterior. The mouth is u con- 

 spicuous triradiate opening at the extreme anterior eml, while 

 the anus appears as a vertical slit at the extreme posterior. 

 The lips are thick, swollen, and covered with minute sand- 

 particles. Along the line of the dorsal bristles there arc 

 large, long, Hattened papillaj which have pointed tips. As 

 Prof. M'lntosh remarks, " These papillas diifer in a marked 

 degree from those usually seen in Stylario'ules, Brada v'dlusa 

 or granulata. The dorsal bristles are few, slender, and 

 inconspicuous. The ventral oues are long, have thick shafts 

 of almost uniform breadth throughout, and end in bluntly 

 rounded tips which are slightly bent. The tips in some, 

 however, are probe-like and tend to be slightly attenuate. 

 These bristles have well-marked transverse stria3, which 

 become fainter towards the tips, where they ultimately dis- 

 appear. In many there are also oblique striae wliicli are 

 pruininent on the part of tlie bristle projecting beyond the 

 surface. The setigerous lobes are fairly conspicuous, standing 

 out from the rugose surface as little elevations from which 

 the bristles project, and around which are clustered several 

 liulbose paj)illa'. The gut is simple, straight, and very 

 narrow, and in segments G, 7, and 8 it is surrounded by a 

 dense mass of ova which are reddish-yelhjw in colour. The 

 ova are small, spherical, and have very thick zonje.
